globally is the key. IHON students don’t simply study issues from afar – they study them from a variety of perspectives and in a variety of disciplines like the arts, economics, philosophy, politics and religion. They are not simply reading about the great thinkers and the great ideas that have made the world what it is – they are systematically dissecting and testing these ideas and looking at them from every perspective.

Hispanic Studies and history? RC: Everything about where we live today, everything about this world, was made by humans. It was made by us. Our language, our culture, our identities… everything.
